Seven layers, one closed loop, zero ambiguity about who's accountable for what.

Predator runs continuous, autonomous red-teaming against your own environment — exploit chain reasoning, attack path prediction, and Zero Trust boundary stress testing, scheduled and scoped by your red team rather than improvised. The goal is to find what an attacker would find, before they do, and feed those findings directly into L2's defensive reasoning.

Predator ingests, deduplicates, and normalizes every signal entering the platform — network telemetry, identity events, endpoint data, third-party feeds — sustaining 10M+ events per second. Pre-log identity signal capture means authentication anomalies are visible before they ever reach a SIEM. Full technical specification in Appendix A of the master architecture document.

Predator performs causal reasoning over the normalized signal intelligence — not pattern matching against known signatures, but an explainable model of attacker intent built from a live causal graph. Every conclusion carries the evidence and rule that produced it, in plain language a human reviewer can audit without an engineer present.

Predator operates the Zero Trust identity hub — conditional access, phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2), and just-in-time privilege management enforced at the boundary attackers cross most often. Identity is the new perimeter: attackers increasingly don't break in, they log in, and L3 is built around that reality.

Predator executes containment, patching, and configuration correction inside a governance envelope your team defines — not an open-ended autonomy grant. The envelope sets exactly what may execute without approval, what requires human sign-off, and what is never permitted regardless of confidence score.

Predator's Governance & Risk Intelligence layer maintains standing compliance mapping against NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, and GDPR, generated continuously as a byproduct of operation rather than assembled under deadline for an audit. Risk scoring and board-level reporting are produced from the same evidence trail every autonomous decision already carries.
